Easy to use ListView with pinned sections for Android 2.1 and higher. Pinned section is a header view which sticks to the top of the list until at least one item of that section is visible.
Features
This list properly implements many features which are missing from other implementations. These are
- Fast scroll
- Headers and footers
- Clickable pinned sections
Besides this it doesn't create any unnecessary views, layouts etc. It's really lean.
Watch this video to see PinnedSectionListView
in action.
Usage example
- Replace standard
ListView
withde.halfbit.pinnedsection.PinnedSectionListView
in yourlayout.xml
file.
<de.halfbit.pinnedsection.PinnedSectionListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
- Extend your
ListAdapter
in a way that it implementsPinnedSectionListAdapter
interface, in addition to what it already implements. Basically you need to add a singleisItemViewTypePinned(int viewType)
method. This method must returntrue
for all view types which have to be pinned.
// Our adapter class implements 'PinnedSectionListAdapter' interface
class MyPinnedSectionListAdapter extends BaseAdapter
implements PinnedSectionListAdapter {
...
// We implement this method to return 'true' for all view types we want to pin
@Override
public boolean isItemViewTypePinned(int viewType) {
return viewType == <type to be pinned>;
}
}
That's all. You are done! A working example can also be found in example
folder.
Use with Gradle
Add this to your module-level build.gradle
:
dependencies {
compile "de.halfbit:pinned-section-listview:1.0.0"
}
